a  It should be specified in the contract if Buyer shall specify the Z-direction performance which shall comply with the provisions of GB/T 5313.
b A (δ5) represents the elongation at break when LO=5.65SO0.5, where L0 is the original gauge length and S0 is the original cross-sectional area.
c The table shows the impact absorption energy index of the steel plate. The impact absorption energy at the corresponding temperature of the welded joint is 47J. The test result is calculated according to the arithmetic mean of the three samples. One of the sample values is allowed to be lower but not less than 70% of the specified value.

Bending performance

To verify the cold bending formability of WSD690E plate, cold bending tests are carried out respectively on 60mm, 85mm and 100mm plates with four diameters of bending centers d=1.5a, d=2.0a, d=2.5a and d=3.0a.

 

The test results show that the surfaces of 60mm, 85mm and 100mm plates after cold bending are good. Thus, WSD690E plate has good cold bending formability.
